Why does the Super Bowl use Roman numerals? “With you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light” (Psalm 36:9)

This Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs will play the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. Why does the NFL use Roman numerals when no other league does? Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt suggested in 1970 that the big game employ Roman numerals instead, lending the game a kind of gravitas as a major event. Mr. Hunt is also credited with coining the name “Super Bowl.” But in my mind, the remarkable success of the NFL, the Super Bowl, and the Chiefs are not his most significant achievement. It was my privilege to be the pastor of Clark Hunt and his family in Dallas. They are among the most gracious, humble people I have ever known. Today we discuss enduring legacy and God’s everlasting reign and power over creation.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday's Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins.
